With in the Emergency Services Field, We see quite
a bit of what life is about. The poems listed within my site are just a
few of many others. It is a way for Everyone to express their feelings,
get our frustrations out in the open & so forth.

Alot
of People think "We are super-human" and that We can handle
"anything & everything" because of the Job we do. We are
not "Super-Human". In fact, We are human just as Everyone is.
We have the same feelings, cry the same, scream the same and so forth
Just like Everyone else.

There
are quite a few of us whom have suffered & dealt with PTSD, (Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder) It can be VERY devastating to a FF, EMT,
Paramedic, a Police Officer & their families also. Please when you
have a moment of time, search thru the Internet and read some
information concerning PTSD.

The
following Poems were written by a very close friend of mine, whom along
with myself had to deal with PTSD. "Jasmin"
was a little girl who was killed by a Drunk Driver. "All
Alone" was written by Debbie while going thru PTSD, and finally
after learning to control the PTSD, "Lessons
Learned from a PTSD Survivor" was written by her.
